I applaud you goombah. Solid post. The only thing I would disagree with is who I think would do a better job giving our current circumstance. I hated bush 2 and his administration and I was encouraged by Mr Obama and his promise. But instead of reform I feel he's gone too far left economically and thats why Im voting Romney. I feel like Obamas plan for job creation and the deficit would hurt more than help. But it's all opinion and I can't understand why people can't be civil when talking politics. I have plenty of friends who disagree with me on many topics but we respect one another's opinions.
